Red Weber Kettle

[DeanC]

Always wanted one of these. From the looks of the Q&A, interest is picking up. Don't know if I am willing to pay the shipping but it looks like it is in great condition. If the link doesn't work, its a red kettle on e-bay

It seems like this past summer I must have seen at least 6 red and a couple blue kettles on craigslist for next to nothing. I even saw a yellow Homer Simpson for $20. I posted a thread on the VB site and turns out it's a collectors item. I'm not a Weber guy myself but another on the VB site drove at least 2 hours to buy it and posted pics of his rainbow of kettles! He is one happy camper! See if you can find one on CL!

I have the small red weber and it does look cool. I have never seen the Homer one, will have to check ebay.

The VB site has some pics and E-bay links for the Homer (starting bid $437) in the charcoal grill section.

I miss my original red weber kettle. Weber says the current black and blue models they sell are the same design, but I swear the red kettle cooked better.

Think you could powdercoat a Weber Kettle? Any food safety issues? Someone with a powder coating operation could make some money selling custom designed kettles.

I've seen custom painted WSMs in the past - but never a kettle. I'm sure it can be done.

I saw a custom painted kettle at Raytown this year. It was pink and a young girl used it for the Kids Q. I believe it belonged to Bare Bones BBQ.
